Instead of activating the link at the center of the touch area (the behavior I expect), Chrome seems to select the link based on the entire area covered by my finger:  Is this (counterintuitive) behavior normal? Can I configure Chrome to simply use the center of the touch area instead? |

4250 | Rooting HTC Evo on Froyo 2.2 and installing a custom rom | I just received the latest update from HTC. They have installed more bloatware on my phone and I've finally had enough. I want to root. I found this rom and this guide on how to root. But the root guide says outdated so I'm worried. Firstly, however, is my concern about ruining my phone. I consider myself tech savvy, and I plan on following directions exactly, but in my experience sometimes following the directions doesn't yield expected results. Is there a way to back out once I've started rooting/flashing?

I'm assuming the version of the HTC software doesn't matter for rooting. How do I root and then flash in the custom rom? Do I even need to root to flash in the custom rom (does the rom it come rooted?) How do I flash in the custom rom? |

29614 | Problems with Adobe PDF reader on Android 2.2.1 | I'm using a tablet computer (Archos 101 internet tablet) running Android 2.2.1. On this tablet, Adobe Reader is installed. Unfortunately, I have problems while reading PDF files: the rendering process is very slow and sometimes the text is not rendered at all. Instead, it is showing a blank white page or rough pixels. I have to scroll and zoom around to force a new rendering and if I'm lucky, the PDF is rendered then. This happens with big (MB) and small (KB) PDFs. Is this a problem because of : 1. slow tablet hardware 2. crappy Adobe Reader software 3. pdf files? Does anyone else have those problems? Would be a change to a different reader, for instance ezPDF Reader, help? |

Error Notification: > Blank External SD card > > SD card blank or has unsupported file system. The last thing I did before this was to record some video, which was set to record to the external card, and then plugged it into USB. I also installed USB drivers for the phone from Softpedia as Windows wasn't recognaising it by default. After installation the phone's memory showed up as a removable disk but the external card did not. Then after unplugging the device from the PC I had that error in the notification bar. How do I recover my SD card? Do I need to format and therefore stand to lose the data on it? |

I hit advanced wipe and within that I hit "system", went ahead and wiped. There's nothing left on my phone my phone and there are no ROMs on my SD card.

When I clicked factory data reset I didn't remove internal storage such as music and photos and then reset the phone. This didn't take too long and after choosing language, connecting to wifi and logging in to my google account the phone started re-downloading all my apps. It was doing great, until it just stopped doing so after I accidentally shut down the internet connection.

22706 | What are the options for streaming music from PC to phone? | I'm interested in being able to play music that's on my computer through my phone - mostly so I can plug the phone into speakers in different parts of the house. Looking for apps, I realise that there are actually some pretty different ways you can do this: 1. Run a music server that's accessible over the internet, access through app or web browser on phone (eg AudioGalaxy, Subsonic) 2. Run an audio streaming server that provides a single audio stream (eg SoundWire - you drive the choice of music from the PC, and the phone is just a passive receiver) 3. Share your music folder, and use a Samba (or equivalent) file share app like ES File Explorer to access the files on your phone and play them from there. 4. Use DLNA-supporting apps at both ends to play and share music (eg, Windows Media Player on PC, and AllShare or Skifta on phone) 5. Sync music from PC to phone regularly, and just play it from there. Am I missing any? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach? One concern for me is I'd rather not have music going via the internet, because then it would count doubly out of my internet usage cap. Also, are there apps (with the right combination of PC software) that can combine these approaches? It would be great to be able to either drive a playlist from the PC, or select songs from the phone. Extra bonus points for solutions that work for video (ie, films) as well. My PC is Windows XP, my phone is Samsung Galaxy Note. EDIT Incorporating answers from below into the original list. |
22704 | Apps only work with Wi-Fi, not with 3G | When I bought my LG Optimus Me, I had a problem: whenever I opened Facebook, Market, or any other app which uses the network, it told me it couldn't estabilish a network connection. I searched and was told to remove my SIM card and make a Google account using Wi-Fi. That worked, but those applications now only work when using Wi-Fi, when I'm using 3G they don't work.

22701 | How to get updates for apps which use Google Play on my Kindle Fire? | A number of apps on my Kindle Fire indicate that updated versions are available and prompt me to "tap here to update" or words to that effect. The trouble is this: so far all the apps with updates -- _even those purchased directly through the Kindle Store_ \-- will open up Google Play and ask me to download the update package. This, of course, is impossible for me to do since the Kindle Fire is unwelcome at Google Play. Bringing up the app's info page in the Amazon App Store app just gives me the option of launching the already installed version, but there's no option to download the latest update. So, how can I update these apps? Must I hunt down the APKs for each app individually? Shouldn't these apps be opening up Amazon's App Store rather than Google's? Is there a system setting I can change that makes them do so? I can't seem to find any mention of this type of problem anywhere; Google just spits out results about _installing_ apps rather than updating them. My Fire was previously rooted but I haven't re-rooted it since the last time Amazon pushed out an update to the OS. |
22708 | How to turn off notifications for individual apps? | On my iphone, there is a "notifications" setting section, which basically just allows me to choose which apps has the power to notify me. I was wondering if there's anything similar that is available on the Samsung Galaxy s2? Basically, we have a new app called Scramble For Friends. And it keeps notifying us every time someone has finished their turn so that I can play. We play random people so this could be in the middle of the night or in a meeting etc. It just vibrates but still - it's annoying and we want to turn it off. We also don't want to turn off other notifications like Email, Facebook etc. - we just want to turn off the notifications for Scramble For Friends. I've been looking around in the Settings but there doesn't seem to be a universal page which deals just with notifications. |
77623 | How to make a key act as acute and apostrophe? dead keys problem | Hi dear android/linux enthusiast, first question on stackoverflow, until now I've got a lot of help just reading stackexchange.* in passive mode, thanks for all that! I want to make a keycharmap/keylayout for my bluetooth keyboard in my android phone. I want it to behave like a dvorack-us-international keyboard. So I made all the web-research needed but I'm still missing one thing. In my PC the apostrophe key behaves as an acute key, if I press it once and then press a vowel, it writes the vowel with the acute (my native language is Spanish so I've become dependent on this "feature"), so I want this behavior in android. In my PC: APOSTROPHE A = á APOSTROPHE O = ó APOSTROPHE Shift+A = Á APOSTROPHE APOSTROPHE = ´ (lonely acute) APOSTROPHE SPACE = ' Shift+APOSTROPHE A = ä Shift+APOSTROPHE Shift+A = Ä Shift+APOSTROPHE Shift+APOSTROPHE = ¨ (umlaut) Shift+APOSTROPHE SPACE = " So I made a keycharmap that has this: key APOSTROPHE { label: '\'' base: '\u0301' shift: '\u0308' } (As sepecified in https://source.android.com/devices/tech/input/key-character- map-files.html#behaviors) But what I've got was this behavior: APOSTROPHE APOSTROPHE = ´ (lonely acute) APOSTROPHE SPACE = ´ (lonely acute) Shift+APOSTROPHE Shift+APOSTROPHE = ¨ (umlaut) Shift+APOSTROPHE SPACE = ¨ (umlaut) As you can see **I'm missing the quote and double quote** and I'd really like to have them. So, I tried something different: key APOSTROPHE { label: '\'' base: '\u030D' shift: '\u030E' } (Looking at android sources http://omapzoom.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/view/KeyCharacterMap.java;h=55dd6bb64fe65ba29c5f71ed9257ed9dbe7a3790;hb=HEAD and at unicode "combining character" in wikipedia) But didn't got what I wanted either. I saw that the character '\u030E' was comment-out on the source code ok, but I had to try. So the question is: How do I get the behavior I want in android? Can't be done without modifying android sources? do I have to use key modifiers (ALT or CTRL) and stick with that? (I'm using cyanogenmod 11-20140708 based on kitkat 4.4.4 on a LG nexus 4 (mako)) thanks! |
77622 | Which uses more battery? 4G lte internet or Wi-Fi? | I usually am within range of my Wi-Fi hotspot, and am using a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I've always wanted to know whether I'd have better battery-life if I was to turn off Wi-Fi? I have unlimited 4G lte from an old Verizon plan, so I don't have to worry about data charges. By turning on Wi-Fi you get to turn off 4G lte, so I would think it would be a trade-off. But the cellular connection stays on always, so wouldn't turning on Wi-Fi have a net increase in battery usage? Also, my phone has the option to disconnect Wi-Fi when I turn it to standby, and reconnect when I turn it back on. I wonder if that makes a difference? |
77621 | Browsers Zoom In and Out while Scrolling | Every time I open a page in either Chrome, Opera or Firefox and try to scroll with the tip of my finger, the browser seems to suddenly zoom in and out while scrolling, interpreting the scroll down as a pinch AND scroll gesture. This is f****** annoying. This problem does not occur at all on Android's built-in browser, so I must advise this is not a problem with my touch screen. I experience this issue on my LG Optimus L3, with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. **_EDIT 1_** : The problem is probably inherent to the cell phone model, as only I and a friend, who owns an identical phone, have this same problem. **_EDIT 2_** : The problem seems to be solved for the last Google Chrome update, but Opera unfortunately still behaves in this way. This means that it isn't a user interaction problem, but a bug. |
77620 | /data/sdext2 mount not found link2sd | I installed cm 7.2 stable (android 2.3.) frome here. Then i followed this guide to prepare my sd card for link2sd. Then i installed link2sd on my phone and created mount script for the ext2 partition. It generated fine and i rebooted the phone but still the ext2 partition was not mounted and it never gets mounted. Root access is available to link2sd. No error appears while mounting or creating script. But when i try to create link for an app it says "/data/sdext2 not found". How can i get my 2nd partition mounted. I have tried ext2,ext3,ext4 already. |

10801 | Samsung S Galaxy II (i9100): Problems with Wifi signal, bad reception, breaking connection | I recently bought an Samsung S Galaxy II (i9100), and I am pretty pleased with it. It is by far the best phone I ever owned. The only downside I have is that it has a really poor wifi signal. It gets almost half of the bars my old HTC HD2 got. This is not a big problem, I am not always far away from my router anyways. The really annoying part is that is stops working after a few minutes. I am just browsing, and then suddenly the connection stops. I then need to switch off wifi, and back on the get the connection going again. The signal is already on 'never sleep', so that is not the problem. And I do not have this problem with the HTC HD2, so it's not my router either, its just the phone. Anyone know a fix for this, I have been looking on the net, a lot of people have this problem, but I failed in finding a good solution. Really bad downside for such a great phone. \----- EDIT ------------- I also read an article about it maybe being the router. I downloaded a program called Wifi-Analizer. It said the channel had a poor signal, so I changed the wifi channel to 13. I also changed the settings to use N only, before it was B + G + N. This helped a little bit at first, it does not break so often anymore, but the signal does break every few hours. |
10803 | Possible to install APK from personal website? | How can I allow a user to do web-install of Android APK file from my personal web page? Like to create a personal (private) APK repository where I could put APK files and send a client the link to the APK file.

42935 | Stream music from Android phone to PC over WiFi | I've been searching on this site and can't find exactly what I'm looking for: I have a PC (can run Linux or Windows) that's connected to my surround-sound speakers. When my friends come around they can listen to their music by connecting their phone to my speakers using a standard 3.5mm jack. Is there a way that would let them connect their phone via WiFi to my PC and they could just play their music like they are connected directly to the speakers via a 3.5mm jack? One of the main requirements would be that they could use the standard music player in their phone. Also does anyone know if this software or configuration this would require on the PC side to work? |
57896 | Android 4.4 (Kitkat) and volume problem on a Nexus 7 | I've got a Nexus 7 tablet and it has just got updated to Android 4.4 - Kitkat automatically (I just approved the installation). Having done that, the sound volume of my tablet is acting weird. Once I push higher or lower volume buttons (on the case) it shows up the volume indicator and the volume handler moves one step in the requested direction (to this point it is normal). From this point on the volume acts weird. If I keep pressing the volume buttons the volume indicator on the screen won't move anymore but the sound volume will be changed. And worse than that, the volume can not be adjusted using the on screen handler (you can not adjust volume with on screen touches). Has anyone faced any similar problem? And more importantly is there any cure for it? |
38422 | I can not reboot my Glaxy s 9000 | I was running CynogenMod 10 successfully on my Galaxy S 9000 till I got an update message which I unfortunately applied. It seems it could not get access to my apps installed to sdcard. Unfortunately, I did not make any backup from the old installed OS. Afterwards, I wanted to install a stable ROM following a guide on Internet, that I have to download the CynoGenMod ROM 9.0 on sdcard and then went to Recovery mode and installed it after pressing "Wide data/facatory reset". It took hours till the Galaxy turned off. When I turned it on again, the Galaxy could reboot but I was not satisfied with it, so I went to ROM Manager and clicked Update to stable ROM and chose CynogenMod 10 again to install. Once applied it, the Galaxy tried to reboot, showed the CynogenMOD logo and then went to recovery mode. It shows: > CWM-based Recovery v6... > > reboot system now install zip from sdcard > > install zip from sideload > > wipe data/factory reset wipe cache.. > > backup and restore > > mount and storege > > advanced Whenever I press "Reboot system now" it tries to reboot, show the CynogenMod logo and goes to Recovery mode again and so on. As I said, due to the fact I did not backup the old functioning installed OS I can not make use of the feature shown in the menu "Backup and restore". Any suggestion how to download and install CynogenMod in this case? |
38424 | Notifications from other user accounts not clearing? | I have made an account on my Nexus 7 for my mum, and she has set a password on it. Her GMail account syncs to it, and I sometimes see notifications on the screen when I am using my account. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but it would seem that I cannot actually clear them correctly. Observe the screenshots below:   On picture one, you can see the GMail icon indicating that there is a notification there, and on picture 2 you can see the gap where the notification is supposed to be. The gap appears when I select the notification, or swipe it away. My question: Is there a way for me to clear the notifications from another user account properly? |

38428 | Unified way to manage annotations and bookmarks in Android and PC | I usually read my books using an application called Mantano on Android. They have a cloud based sync mechanism that syncs annotations across various mobile devices. My problem is I want to keep all my books in Dropbox (or maybe Calibre) and want to keep all the annotations, bookmarks in one place (preferably within the book itself) so that if in future I want to change the reading software on any platform, I have the annotations right there. Is there any solution for this? I mainly read epub and pdf books. A single reader is the best option but if not possible I can use two readers (one for pdf and another for epub). I want to stay away from dedicated readers like kindle, nook etc. |

10503 | HTC Sync fails to start when phone connected "updating htc library" | I have an HTC Desire S wich is failing to connect to HTC Sync. I have downloaded and installed the latest version but one of 2 possible scenarios occur: 1. The phone is connected to the pc. USB connection sound chimes and I see the phone in my Windows devices list. I then start HTC Sync. It will show the splash screen and use about 40-50% CPU power, but it will not go any farther... It only shows the message "Updating htc library". 2. The phone is not connected to USB. I start HTC Sync and wait for it to fully load. Then I connect the phone. Once again the phone shows up in my devices list, but HTC Sync will not recognize it, nor will it show my phone. I am using Windows 7 x64, HTC Sync v3.0.5551 (june, 6th update by HTC).

70013 | Phone takes up to 20 secs between click on phone number and actual call, receive multiple times the same sms | My phone is behaving oddly and I don't understand what is going on. It started a few days ago. When I click on a phone number or a contact (that link to his phone number to call directly), the list of last called number is correctly updated, the click is effective, but the actual call begins about 20 seconds later ! If I click multiple time on the phone number, it will call this number multiple times, but after the laps of 20 seconds. Moreover, I found another bug that started the same day. When someone sends me an sms, I receive it multiple times, like 10/15 times, throughout the day (not at once). It's like I receive a new sms every hours, but it's still the same. I didn't installed any new app or didn't make any update of the OS just before. I tried to reboot the phone but the problem is still here. I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue that makes android buggy, or an update of an existing app that makes it behaving that way. Here the list of installed apps : * 9Gag * Barcode Scanner * GMail * Google+ * Prey Anti Theft * Andmade share * Dropbox * Endomondo (pro) * Facebook * Google Authenticator * Google Drive * Google Play Kiosque * Google Play Musique * Hangouts * Headspace * Jewels Star * Maps * Google Chrome * Profile Flow * Google Search * Vocal search * Skype * Street view * Super Sudoku * Twitter * Youtube It's an HTC One, and I didn't rooted it or installed a specific ROM, it's the OS from the purchase. Thank you for your help !! |

70014 | Always get android updates instantly | A Nexus 5, for example, receives the latest android updates instantly. Is it possible to get this pure version of android on any custom android phone (like Galaxy S3)? Do note I DO NOT mean: * Something like Cyanogenmod. While it does eventually give latest android update it is not instant like on Nexus devices. Default google apps are also not installed out of the box or updated automatically. * A solution that keeps requiring manual install (like a custom mod maybe) everytime a new official version of android is out. I am looking for a solution where after manual intervention once, stock android will be installed and I will receive android updates instantly. * A specific solution to Galaxy S3. I'm just looking for the term used to have instant automatic updates on your device, I'm very new to Android sorry. |
4534 | How do I root Cruz Tablet? | I am relatively new to the Android scene, and have recently bought my first official android-powered device. The cruz tablet was just $199 at Best Buy so I figured I culd give it a try. Unfortunately, it's very limited. I can live with the hardware shortcomings (no camera, no Bluetooth), but I want access to the full Android Market. I believe a rooting is in order. Can someone please point me in the direction of rooting instructions for this device? Is rooting the same for each Android device? I haven't found much info on the net about this particular tablet. Anything I can learn from here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Thomas |
53575 | Can Android's broadband version be changed easily? | I'm using Android devices to construct a system where of the most important things is that it should send data to a database via wifi, but I've checked that only devices with broadband version (seen on settings-> broadband version) least 1.5 do the sending of data more and less reliably (it's not a critical app so as long as the data comes in some moment it's ok), but those with a different version than that one (in fact one higher than it gives problems, it's strange but it's what is happening) doesn't seem to even send some data and that's not acceptable for my app. I've checked about installing new Android OS with that broadband version in a tablet and the process seems hard, prone to errors and that it might even leave the tablet unusable, so I'd like to know if there's some way to just install whatever is needed to have a broadband version 1.5, whatever it needs to display it and to work correctly. Hope, I have explained myself clearly. Thanks a lot for your time and help. |
4532 | How can I remove Sense UI from the HTC Desire? | So I'm pretty much sick of HTC Sense (and therefore my Desire in general) for the following reasons: 1. THE BIG ONE: Lack of space on the phone partition 2. The Sense UI calendar is rubbish. No view of the day of the week you're picking when creating a new event ... WTF? 3. Contacts sync with Google Contacts: I have absolutely no way to sync selected groups. I've spent hours going through forum posts ... seems to be a very common problem, and for the desire I see no solution to this one. When my contacts are taking up 15 MB of precious space, I have 2 options: delete a stack of them from my Google account, or find another option on the phone (this is the option I'm leaning towards). 4. Speed. I played with my friend's Nexus One with Gingerbread, and the speed is incredible. My Desire's speed is lacking. 5. Battery life. I'm pretty sure Sense and all its background processes are sucking a lot of battery power unnecessarily. I cannot get through a day without charging. If I go to work and forget to charge it during the day, it'll be dead before I get home. And I hardly use my phone at work. So, assuming Sense is the cause of all or most of the above issues, I figure my Desire and I would be much better friends if I could rid it of all that Sense gunk. Has anybody done this? Got any links to tutorials I can follow (since I haven't even rooted my phone yet). |

61397 | Internal SD-card hardware erros.

It gets the wrong timestamp, and leaves the address empty and the type (which represents sent or received) is always 1 (received)._ I'm thinking that there could be newer solutions that are worth mentioning? |
16315 | How do I tell if my phone has Carrier IQ Software on it? | What is known about the Carrier IQ Software and Android handsets? I see a similar icon as shown on the Carrier IQ app next to an app called "Contact Data" and another called "Contact Sync". Does my phone come with Carrier IQ? |
12956 | How to keep the size of the Dalvik cache small? | I have an issue with the Dalvik cache getting huge and occupying almost all of the space on my phone. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.X. For the record, I have about 5-6 small applications on my phone (keyboard, voice choice, Gmail, etc.), but I'm showing about 187MB used and 9.7MB free on my internal storage in "Manage Applications". I simple `du -h -d 1 /` reveals: 0 /sd-ext 0 /config 32.3M /cache 0 /acct 3.5G /mnt 120.8M /system 0 /sys 112.0K /sbin 0 /proc 178.3M /data 0 /root 0 /dev 3.8G / Then, a `du -h -d 1 /data` reveals further: 550.5K /data/tombstones 13.5K /data/backup 10.5K /data/dropbear 50.5K /data/anr 4.0K /data/secure 413.0K /data/system 94.3M /data/dalvik-cache 3.5K /data/property 6.6M /data/app 1.5M /data/app-private 74.8M /data/data 6.5K /data/local 2.0K /data/lost+found 46.5K /data/misc 2.0K /data/dontpanic 178.3M /data The "cache" is taking up 94.3MB of my internal phone storage?!? How does this make any sense? I did a cache wipe, but it was all regenerated on the next boot. Another really weird but interesting thing is that if I do `du -h -d 1 /data/data`, I see that many of the apps I have moved to SD storage are still being stored on the phone!!! 34.5K

What gives? |
41773 | S3 I9300 - screen freezing several times | I'm an S3 user. After I updated the OS to 4.1.2 (official release), my screen keeps on freezing. I'm fed up with those freezing situations. Any solutions for that? Thank you. |
12950 | How to access Android language dictionaries | Is it possible to access (programatically, using a text editor, etc.) each dictionary of the built in languages in Android? The automatic word completion is really useful but it has a major problem when it comes to SMS messaging. I'm Hungarian and our alphabet contains special letters like 'á', 'ő', 'ú' and so on. As you can see each basic letter has a single or a double accent on the top of it (or a dot). If that accent leans to the right like this: 'á' then only 70 letters are allowed to send in a single SMS message. There is another version of that letter in Android when the accent leans to the left: 'à'. Using this will not reduce the 160 letters to 70. Unfortunately all the built in Hungarian words use the wrong version of those letters so I have two options when composing a new SMS message: 1. Turn off word completion and use the basic letters like 'a', 'o', 'u'. 2. Use word completion but correct the wrong letters. This takes at least twice as much time to complete a text message. So I'm wondering if it would possible to rewrite the dictionary of a language in any way? |
12952 | How do I change the password of my main Google account on a Droid X? | I changed my Google Account password (on my computer). I now need to change it on my Droid X. I cannot figure out how to do this. I Googled, and everyone says go to Settings > Accounts. I did this, but there is nowhere to change the password there. It only specifies four services that are syncing. "Contacts" is throwing an error now, but, still, there is nowhere to change the password. |
41778 | Nexus 4 won't turn Bluetooth on | My LG Nexus 4 runs stock Android 4.2.2. I use Bluetooth for phone calls with a one-ear headset (Plantronics M100). Sometimes I notice in the power toggles menu that Bluetooth has turned OFF and when I go into the BT settings the slider is indeed set to OFF. When I touch the slider, it moves to ON but after a fraction of a second it quickly moves back to OFF. Sometimes Bluetooth is even reported as ON but it still won't connect to any other BT device. In this state, I can turn BT off and then on again, but it doesn't resolve the problem. Only a **device restart** seems to resolve this, so that I can turn BT on again. This happens every other day or so. Is this a bug in Android? Is there something else interfering? How can I troubleshoot this? |
7068 | How to keep the Car Home app from opening automatically on my Droid? | Hey all, this is something that's been bugging me for a while now and I just found this wonderful, glorious place so I thought I'd pick your collective brains. I'm running CM 6.2.1 on my original Motorola Droid. I don't want to uninstall the Car Home app, but I don't want it to open automatically when I put my phone in my car dock either. Aside from ripping apart my dock and pulling out the magnet, is there any way I can accomplish this? |
